Watch face changes while in sleep mode, how can I change that?

[Lorr]

Why does my sleep watch have a custom watch face when I wake it up? I would llike to just see the default one when I wake up the watch.

That sounds cool actually. Is personalization on for your watch or theme related store settings.? I don't have a watch but would think it would be that.

Are you talking about this?

Yes

I feel your pain. It's really annoying, and there is no way to turn it off.

When you put your watch into sleep mode, you watch face is overlaid with the default digital clock and the mode active screen.  You will only get back to your normal watch face when you turn sleep mode off (or if sleep mode deactivates automatically).  This lets you know that you have sleep mode on.  You don't see this face unless you tap the button in order to either see the time or want to deactivate sleep mode.

If you don't want to see this particular face when you wake up, I suggest editing sleep mode to activate/deactivate automatically at your normal bedtime/wake up time.  This way, by the time you wake up and look at your watch, you will see your normal watch face.

I have my own night time watch face with complications I want to see. I know sleep mode is one. I dont want to hit a button twice to get to something the routine for sleep let's me set.

You don't even have to turn sleep mode on, your watch will still track your sleep.  Create this routine - one of the very few routines that will work on the watch.  You don't need sleep mode to track your sleep, the watch will track it regardless.  You can create this as a mode instead, but you won't get the "change watch face" option, you will have to change your watch face manually.  Only Sleep Mode changes the watch face to the digital clock, so using any other mode will still keep the watch face visible -  just a little icon at the top to let you know a mode is on.

You mentioned that you had it only while you were sleeping, which is interesting. Because my Sleep mode turns on after a certain time, usually before I'm actually sleeping, which is even more annoying.

Unless you have sleep mode set to activate automatically at a certain time or under certain conditions, sleep mode NEVER activates automatically.  You should check your sleep mode settings to make sure you didn't change it at some point to an automatic activation and revert it to manual activation.  Unless you actually *want* it to activate automatically - in which case all you have to do is change the activation event.  You can also just delete sleep mode entirely and use the above routine, adjusted to the conditions you want.  As I said, the watch will track your sleep regardless of whether or not you have sleep mode active.
